Vermeer,

I wondered why Noront was not present on this expert panel held Oct.23.

I was encouraged to see Alan Coutts, ex-Xstrata come to Noront. Someone on the board mentioned he was with Xstrata for 5+ years.

Actually, if you look carefully at where he worked previously, you'll see Xstrata Nickel,Austraila...then .... Brunswick mining (Which is XSTRATA OWNED), and prior to that you see Falconbridge (which was purchased by XSTRATA). This man was with Xstrata for a long time.

Alan ..left....to come here....and Noront was "ready" for him.

He committed to buying 335,000 shares at .30 cents

Now,......look very carefully at the discussion with experts.

(1) Noront is not in attendance with the environmental lawyer gang/gov't rep. Ask yourself ...why?

(2) Notice that the only FN listing at this discussioin is :Nishnawbe Aski Nation

Deputy Grand Chief Les Louttit, Nishnawbe Aski Nation.

(3) Ask yourself this...... Where is Matawa??Why only Nishnawbe Aki Nation ??

(4) Do you recall this info?Note carefully that the East West road will directly benefit four MATAWA First Nations.....

“We’re confident this alternative will be attractive to each level of government, the local communities and the people who will benefit from this sensible approach to stimulating development in the Ring of Fire,” Parisotto added.

The east-west corridor was originally proposed by Noront as a transportation corridor linking the Ring of Fire to the existing highway system at Pickle Lake.

A similar route was proposed by four Matawa communities – Neskantaga, Nibinamik, Eabametoong and Webequie – as a way to connect their communities to the southern highway grid through the development.

The proposed route would build upon existing winter roads to minimize environmental impact and cost,” Noront said in a press release. “As a result, this routing would also directly benefit four Matawa First Nations and be developed in a more timely fashion.”

(5) I realize the FN's affected by the east west route, namely, Neskantaga, Nibinamik, Eabametoong and Webequie are part of Matawa FN but also registered under Nishnawbe Aki Nation. My point is why is there no representation from Matawa ?

(6) You have to wonder if Noront's got some deal/ agreed partnership with the 4 impacted Matawa FN's and therefore...there is no need to be involved in this panel.

(7) To me it seems ...Noront has something cookin'

I mean...come on...ask yourself why Semple is doing this on Oct.30?? Why be in Finland doing a presentation and then touring the mines in Finland?? Seems to me...they don't need to be at the panel /environmental expert discussion on Oct.23.

Mr. Paul Semple will be in Finland next month doing a presentation.
